Asahiyama Zoo Postpones Start of Summer Season to May 1
Tokorozawa Aviation Museum will be closed from September 1.
The closure is due to renovation work aimed at reopening in spring 2027, and the closure period is scheduled from September 1 to the end of March 2027. With the renovation, the displays of New Ball 81E2, Ultralight Plane, HU-1B (Bell 204B), and Space Walker will be permanently removed.
A pre-closure event will be held. There will be farewell commemorative photos with exhibits ending their role due to the renovation, a display of records and collection materials from past popular exhibitions (“YS-11 Exhibition” and “Zero Fighter Exhibition”), a photo exhibition showcasing memories (photos collected since the museum’s opening), and displays of the renovated museum’s concept images. Some parts will require an admission fee.
